RSSThis Is The Time Of Year I Always Feel The Love
J.J. Jackson | January 4, 2009
People who read my postings and articles always seem to get antsy this time of the year. Especially in years where I take some time off or cut back to get other things done while the getting is good. Yes, I have been posting less the past couple days and weeks because just like many of you, I am taking a small vacation. I even made it abundantly clear that I was not going to be publishing an article the week of December 26th, 2008 under my publication schedule! But for some reason I still get emails like this one from Sandy:
What’s going on? I noticed you have been making fewer posts lately since Obama was elected. Don’t go away! We need you to keep speaking up and challenging the liberal left …
The email goes on to explain to me how so few people get it, how Sandy thinks I am one of those few people and how she is begging me to keep doing what I have been doing for years. As though I was packing it in? Ever hear of “vacation” people? And just for the record (since the facts are important you know) I have only been on light posting duty the last two week and not “since Obama was elected.”
But the real reason I am making this post is because of an email from a barking moonbat named Jake “1″ who writes:
You really are a fucking peice (sic) of workd (sic) you now (sic) that? You elitelist (sic) bastard couldn’t do an honest hob (sic) with your hands if you tried because akll (sic) you know how to do is shooot (sic) your stupid fucking mouth off! I’ll bet you have necar (sic) worded (sic) and done anything with your hands in your life!
Well, Jake “1″, considering that I don’t type with my private parts I don’t know what you call typing! But let’s correct this misconception shall we? A lot of liberals who think that manual labor is the be and and end all to one’s worth write me and for the record I have done manual labor in my life. I have worked assembling mining equipment, worked in a vacuum molding shop and even spent time hauling and sorting steel down on Neville Island (that’s here in Pittsburgh in case you were wondering). I have also done landscaping for a very short time. But I moved on from that sort of work because I found better ways to do constructive things for society and make a pretty penny more than hauling cow manure pays.
But just to ease the consciouses of you moonbats who actually think I don’t know how to work with my hands and those of you right thinking persons having delusions that I might be going somewhere, I will share with you what I have been working on the past couple days.
The truth is that the day after Christmas the secondary refrigerator in our basement conked out so the wife and I decided to buy a new one AND do a little remodeling. Ok, I should I say that I decided to do a little remodeling because the refrigerator in our kitchen is on the smallish side and also awkwardly placed in the corner of the space:
We decided that it would be best to replace the upstairs unit with a bigger one in a new location especially with a baby and the increased food we have to store and then move the old unit downstairs to replace the broken one. Well, first before I could do that I had to remove the cabinets:
then:
I then had to take what was the original floor to ceiling 24″ cabinet and cut it down to a 12″ cabinet to leave 36″ for the new refrigerator, reassemble it and put it back up:
I had this done before the new refrigerator was delivered on Friday and moved into position:
Of course I also had to replumb part of the 1/2″ line in the basement too to get the water for the ice cube maker and water dispenser over to the new location. Yes, I did this all myself except for two hours of help from my father who helped me hold pieces of wood to cut them down to size.
All that is left is some touch up work including a little plaster on the ceiling to finish patching up a hole the previous owner left inexplicably in the ceiling above where the new fridge now sets, reattaching the molding and removing the old fridge and turning that space into pantry.
This is a conceptual markup of the final look:
So to summarize, no I am not going anywhere and yes, I do know how to work with my hands despite claims otherwise.
